FOOTBALL: WORLD CUP BETTING
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LABELLED THE great underachievers, Spain look set to surprise a few people and can get off to the perfect start by beating Nigeria (maybe 2-0 - Stanley go 7-1) at Nantes this afternoon.
Alfonso (6-1 with Ladbrokes) looks a fair bet to be first goalscorer.
Mexico should beat South Korea (though perhaps only 1-0 - Ladbrokes offer 11-2) at Lyons. Hernandez - 6-1 with Stanley - looks the best wager for first goalscorer.
The Netherlands, with Bergkamp back, should take Belgium apart (maybe 3-0 - 11-1 with Stanley) at St-Denis this evening). Kluivert generally 5-1 - looks the best bet to notch the opening goal.
